Chloe Rosser- Form & Function

"Form & Function is an exploration of how we are situated within our own skin. Chloe Rosser’s book comprises of 74 photographs, a foreword by Jude Hull, Photographs Specialist and Head of Sale at Christie’s, an essay by Laura Noble, director of L A Noble Gallery and an ‘In Conversation’ with the artist.

Form & Function explores our fraught relationship with the human body. These contorted nudes delicately transform what should be intimately familiar into foreign sculptures. 

The work looks at the relationships between the figures, studying their intimate interactions as they support and rely on each other in these poses. Positioned like sculptures, they are placed in empty rooms. Subtle familiar markers suggest these spaces to be homes. They are distinctly lived in but intentionally stripped bare.

Evidence of humanity appears in a red mark on the skin from a recent scratch, or the subtle imprint from a piece of clothing. Here, people of different genders, ages, sexualities, body shapes and skin tones are treated equally, becoming anonymous structures that confront conventional ideas of beauty. In an age when we are saturated with digitally altered and enhanced imagery, these real, fleshy sculptures challenge how we look at the human body.

This First Edition book of 750 copies is hardback, 144 pages and 25 x 29cm in size."
